Dotting along the trail of Kororoit Creek is a wildlife treasure hunt, where locals are able to discover and learn about all the creature’s that call the creek home.
Photographer and ceramic artist Ursula Dutkiewicz has captured 19 images of local wildlife that have been placed onto metal stakes which poke out along the creek, encouraging locals to try and spot the wildlife in action.
Alongside the help from metal worker Peter Hinton and jeweller Jason Patterson, each stake is adorned with a ceramic tile that has a photograph and a corresponding label of the featured creature.
Sponsored by a gratitude grant from the Ford Motor Company Fund, Ms Dutkiewicz said the new installation was inspired during lockdown where she spent much of her time photographing the local birdlife at the creek.
“This installation is to help make people aware of what is actually at the creek, and show that there is a treasure trove of wildlife that lives there,” she said.
“It is also an exciting treasure hunt for children as the installation is near the adventure playground, kids can discover and learn about all the local birds, lizards and insects.”
